Re: [RE-wrenches] PV excellent battery charger

My understanding is that the voltage, in excess of battery voltage, from the array, represents energy that is dissipated as heat in the batteries. This extra voltage, multiplied by the amperage is wattage. This extra power can produce more amps at a reduced voltage. It is amperage that charges
